I'm not really interested in taking pictures of planes stored indoors...but on the flight across the Atlantic I was reading in one of the aviation mags a very interesting article about the female 'Night Witches' who flew these biplanes with extreme bravery and under appalling conditions on the Eastern Front during WWII. In order to maintain the element of surprise the pilots would cut the engine and glide over the German lines before jettisoning their bombs, restarting the engine and hopefully escaping.
